I don't know when this started to happen but I imagine that it was 1-3 updates ago.
My phone is stock with Nova Launcher. It is an AT&T phone. Smart lock is enabled and i am connected to devices or i am in a trusted place.
I can be using some apps and my phone just locks...in the middle of typing.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Does someone have a solution?
Do you have a case on it? Check the power button fitment first if you do especially if it happens when you grip it for typing.

I took the case off to see if it makes a difference. I'll post the result.

Yeah. Still locked by itself.

Mine was doing that after the last update I had to wipe phone and start over
Great, same thing is happening to me, will be using it, texting or other, then bam, black screen... what the ****.
I'm thinking Smart Lock is the likely culprit. Is anyone who experiences this NOT using SL?
Try disabling the "lock device when trust is lost" option

Hi guys,
I've had my G-Nex for a few days, and mostly love it - but on two occasions now, the touchscreen has acted up. I'd put the phone down, and for a few minutes, it'd randomly select things on the screen with me nowhere near ( the other day it kept opening the People app). But a minute later, it'll be fine. Touch inputs are flawless when I'm actually using the phone. It's totally random.
Anyone else with such an issue?

I never had any problem like that. It's just a thought but do you put your phone where there might be magnetic interference nearby, like another electronic device? I'm not sure if this can happen with phones but some types of touch input can go crazy because of that.

If you are telling me next that it only happens while 2G is being used..
I had the same thought, but both times the phone was on WiFi, in my house. I've not once had the volume problem, and am also on Orange (1800mhz)...which, so far, seems unaffected by the volume ghost.

I don't want people to think that i am a general moaner, but it did happen to me the first day i got it whilst i was viewing cached apps is the settings menu. Its like your finger is still on the screen. I haven't experienced it since though.
Something like this happened to me with the Nook Color. As far as I know, it's not a known issue for that device so I'm guessing there was some interference I was not aware of. UFO's maybe.
My Palm Pre+ is doing this constantly. I will be pretty upset if I get the Galaxy Nexus and it does the same.
This app is MY FAVORITE ANDROID APP EVER.
- Virtually zero battery drain
- I never ever EVER have to touch on/off button now
- Tons of customization settings
- FREE FREE FREE
- Works awesome whether i'm using my poetic cover, just putting the phone loose in my pocket..or even if its just sitting out on the desk and goes to sleep (just put your finger over the sensor briefly to 'wake' it)
- You can turn off the 'auto on/off' when in landscape mode which is great..i never accidently put the phone to sleep while showing someone a video
- Set it to work automatically after rebooting phone
- Set it to automatically release the lockscreen (if you dont have a passcode)
in short..this simple app has quickly surpassed everything else i installed because it so simple and elegant!
2 thumbs up! i'm planning to buy this guy a beer or whatever his little thing says.
Interesting idea for an app, but not for me. I like to keep my phone out on my desk during most of the day and I'm not a fan of having it face down especially since I don't use a case/bumper/screen protector.
you dont need to.
it will go to sleep like it normally does. it would only turn on if you put your finger over the sensor for a second.
give it a try..you'll fall in love w/ this app!
Yes!!
I just replaced the LG bumper case with a Nillkin flip cover last night and immediately started to hate having to press the power button to unlock it. Now I just have to open the flip cover for the screen to turn on. I've only been testing it for a few minutes but so far it's been perfect.
garenzy - I leave my phone on my desk with the flip cover open as well. As nyvram1 mentioned, you just need to wave your hand over the proximity sensor and the screen turns on. It's been flawless for me so far.
Loving this app! The verdict is still out on the battery drain but I'd be willing to take a small hit on that for this new feature.

i've had this installed for over a week and haven't noticed any additional battery drain.
read the developer's notes. he explains why the battery draw from using this is negligible at best.
i LOVE this app! seriously, after using my phone for a month without it, then installing it a week ago its like i have a new phone!
I dig it, I have my bumper so putting it face down at my desk isn't an issue and it's nice not having to feel for the power button.
doesnt matter if you put it face down or face up on the desk. it will obey the normal timeout sleep if face up and you just move your finger over the sensor to 'wake it' if you need to use it.
no downsides to this app yet.

Thanks man! I have the bumper and a leather magnetic clip for when I'm working. I thought the magnet would turn it off but it was poorly worded and the magnet clip was just too keep the clasp on.
So THIS is perfect thanks man!

I haven`t installed it yet but how does this affect the lock/unlocking of screen when you put it in pockets or put it in your bag?
Installed, can't decide if I actually like it or not. Seems to flick on and off all the time despite messing with the settings. Works well when I put it in my pocket.

The lock screen always comes on after wake up. However this can be disabled in the app.

Tried it, it killed about 14% battery overnight while I slept :/ not good so uninstalled.
Fun gimmick app, I can see the usefullness when you're using a flip cover, however I don't so it's just a cool gimmick till sleep2wake becomes available for other kernels. That how i want to turn on my device

So 24hrs later it's getting uninstalled, everything seemed to be working fine but on calls/alarms/etc. it doesn't show the appropriate screen it instead shows the home screen (I did set it to go to the home screen but that was so it didn't stay stuck on the intellicover screen) so for now I'll just go back to tapping the power button
GT-N5110 wifi version. Ive had this device for 10 days. Out the box it was running 4.1.2 and seemed work great other than the occasional 3-5 seconds when screen would become unresponsive during normal use. After using it for a few days I decided to go ahead and update to 4.2.2 thinking maybe it would fix the screen issue. It did fix that issue but now im having another problem. After the device sits dormant for awhile the screen doesnt respond to touch but still works fine with the s pen. Ill turn it on after sitting all night and after swiping to unlock the screen it becomes unresponsive. I usually have to lock/unlock the screen several times before it will start responding. After it starts working I can be on it for hours with no more problems. But if I lock the screen an set it down for awhile when I go to use it again it does the samething. It seems like it has to warm up. I tried doing factory data reset but that didnt help. It is rooted also but the only thing ive done so far is get rid of some bloatware.(i didnt root it untill after the problem started). Anyone have any advice?
Do you have your note in a cover , and if so does it have a magnet.
Sent from my GT-N5110 using xda app-developers app
That does sound rather crazy, the unresponsiveness is out of the ordinary... did you try turning off a lot of the extra features built in by Samsung? another thing you could do is download Clean Master from the play store and take a look at your Ram use-age and clean out some cache files with it, this might help with the lag. The touch response could be hindered due to a case or screen protector... other than that the only thing i could think is if there was physical damage done to it before that could cause the touch screen to act that way.
Ummmm... I would have taken it back to the store and asked for a replacement.
That is not normal at all. even with the device's settings left alone, there should not be any issues with responses with touch.
Note... The pen feature is totally separate from touch. The screen has two different features, one being a digitizer for the pen function the other for touch. It is possible that during assembly that the connection for the touch screen is faulty, as a bad solder joint during wave process could make the connection heat related. As the device cools, the contacts contract causing a fault with touch operation. When heated up from normal use, expansion forces contact between connector and board for normal operation to function with touchscreen.

The problem was my samsung book cover! Can't believe samsung would make a cover that causes these kinds of issues. Glad I only paid 7 bucks on ebay instead of 50 at best buy. Thanks guys for the comments!

Thanks for the FYI. I was using the moko whatever with a keyboard and I got the freezes all the time. I was thinking about the official Samsung one but if that gives you problems then forget it. I almost sold this thing on eBay cause I couldn't take the freezes anymore. Now I use a tpu case with it and couldn't be happier

I'm not sure if it's my phone or if it just doesn't work well but having loads of issues with it. Sometimes it works repeatedly other times it just won't recognize my finger. Not sure what to do about it
Sent from my phone using Tapatalk
the fingerprint scanner works but its not consistent. I was able to get it to work better by scanning the same finger using different angles (i.e. side of the finger, then scan the tip, then scan the other side...) but it still doesnt always work the first or second attempt.
it actually ended up being more of a hassle to use, so I switched back to the standard swipe screen.
Yeah I'm thinking about giving up on it as well. I like using it for lastpass but not sure if it's enough to deal with the inconsitency. I'll try registering another finger print as you mentioned

I use an app called "wear unlock" and linked it to my moto 360, if the phone leaves the range of my watch it automatically locks with a hard password.
But it means in normal use I just swipe to unlock which is awesome!
Yea works great for me as well. When registering swipe vertically for the first 5 and then horizontally for the last five. And try to swipe at different angles. If u really want to be accurate u can scan the same finger twice, but I honestly haven't had to do this. Also sometimes when swiping, push the button when coming down seems to work alot more that way

It takes a fair amount of time to get used to. I'm at 2 weeks now on mine, and I can usually hit it first or second time now. I find it quite handy, but now that winter is coming, I'm wondering how well it will work with cold chapped fingers. Cases also interfere with swiping.
I wish you could specify a PIN with a fingerprint instead of a 6 character password.

I already notice a difference after a long hot shower - I would imagine no different being out in the cold as well. I will put it to the test as soon as I go on my first snowboarding trip of the season
I've found it to be pretty useless unfortunately, Apple definitely did a better job in that department, albeit at the cost of some extra real estate.
It works well if you scan different angles on your finger.
Personally haven't had a chance to try the Apple version but as for our phones it is quite big so I would recommend at least have some side swipe scans in there so you can scan with one hand.
Never accurate for me. Can never get it to recognize the first time. Had to stop using it out of frustration.

That ends up taking longer to unlock the phone. I know it's more secure but swiping twice or someone three times is frustrating.

Hi, recently I'm having a problem with the touch on samsung galaxy a5 2017, a lack of pressure because of the sweat and I thought I would solve it with a film protector, I did not solve then, but investigating I discovered that this bad pressure of the finger on the touch happens to me only when the phone is not in charge, while when it is in charge, everything is fine. I explain you. If I want to send a voice message on whatsapp, when I have sweaty hands especially, I can not record it more than 3 seconds, while instead if I try with the mobile phone in charge, then I turn off the screen, put it in charge, and try again, voila works well, I can drag the app, the widgets, while when I turn off the screen, I remove the charger, everything is back as before. What do you think is due to you? I also put "show touches" in order to see how it behaves during the charge, in fact during the charge I can even use the multitouch with 5 fingers together, while without a charger only 3 fingers detects me. I threw money for the films protector but apparently there is something wrong or internal, or at the software level, I also did a wipe data but I did not solve anything. What could it be?
